Taj Mahal in Agra is outstandingly beautiful marble building built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his beloved wife late Mumtaj Mahal who died while delivering her fourteenth child. Construction of Taj Mahal began in 1632 and completed in 1653. Emperor Shah Jahan had employed 20,000 workers for 22 years to complete this wonder.

Golden Temple is designed to uphold the principle of equality amongst the people regardless of religion, caste, and social status.
